Straight out of Lewis Carroll's Trash Can: a Jonathan Tollhausler Adventure Michael J. Rumpf

Why did the student cross the campus? To attend a lecture? More likely it's to attend a party. Or does he/she just have a date? One thing you can be sure of, it isn't to write a paper--or study for an exam. Has college always been like this? Come with us now back through the hazy mists of time to see. Meet Jonathan Tollhausler, a college student who is no longer sure why he's crossing the campus. Should he drop-out or is he just chicken? Set in 1983, this picaresque novel follows Jonathan and his friends, as they struggle their way, in the best Marx Brothers' tradition, through a series of obstacles (Classes, Romance, Course Registration, a looming Teachers' Strike, Midterms, the Financial Aid Office) to get to the other side of yet another semester. Of course, when they do, it isn't what anyone expected.
